1 Performance Indicators for Schools 4-5 March, 2013 Dr. Sami Mahroum, INSEAD Innovation & Policy Initiative Prof. Simon Bell, Open University, UK Prof. Nasser Yassin, American University of Beirut

2 The key concept behind the research was to answer the following question: Imagine What Indicators are to be most valuable in performance measurement of schools among all key stakeholders?

3 ADEC Personnel School Administrators & Teachers The stakeholder groups engaged in this research were: Parents

4 A1 B1 The stakeholders worked in groups of around 5. Six groups were organised as follows: ADEC Personnel Administrators Day 1: Group A1, B1, C1, X1, Y1, Z1 Day 2: Group A2, B2, C2, X2, Y2, Z2 C1 Parents

5 X1 Y1 Mixed Group of ADEC Personnel, Administrators & Parents Mixed Group of ADEC Personnel, Administrators & Parents Z1 Mixed Group of ADEC Personnel, Administrators & Parents

6 H1: All stakeholder homogenous groups (e.g. school administrators), because of their homogeneity would be expected to select a narrow range of performance indicators related to their stakeholder interest. Hypotheses / Assumptions: H2: Heterogeneous groups, because of their diversity, would be expected to produce a more diverse process of discovery, a more chaotic process of review and a more diverse range of indicators. The Stakeholders worked with over the two days spent one day in their homogeneous group, they spent the other day in a mixed or heterogeneous group. Arising from this change, further hypotheses can be made: H3: Because of H1 and H2, groups going from homogeneity to heterogeneity would be expected to be less effective in their second formation as they move from shared views to mixed views. H4: Because of H1 and H2, groups going from heterogeneity to homogeneity would be expected to be more effective in their second formation as they move from mixed understandings to more shared views. H5: Heterogeneous groups might be expected to be more chaotic and diverse. H6: Homogeneous groups might be expected to be less chaotic and diverse.

7 Over the two days the groups experienced the Triple Task Methodology: Task 1. Imagine: Each group attempted to develop and select indicators which they believed were most effective in measuring performance in and of the school system. Outcome: 1)A Rich Picture a free form diagrammatic representation of the groups considered view of the performance indicator situation at the present time. 2)Some notion of things that need to be done to improve the current situation and items that present as issues or problems. 3)A series of suggested performance indicators which are seen as being important to the group. Task 2. BECM: The group s dynamic and process was evaluated by the facilitators and marked against a seven point scale known as BECM. The scale assesses group behaviour in terms of the quality of a groups Being, Engaging, Contextualising and Managing. Task 3. Questionnaire: The group s assessed their own process, both as individual and as a group.
